Dean felt bad with his stomach, and he felt hot all over the body. He also felt dizzy, probably from the alcohol. He was currently in the toilet of his dorm room in the middle of the night with his stomach felt like shit.
He looked at himself in front of the sink's mirror. He really looked like a mess with the alcohol and stuff. Still, what was this heat encapsulating his whole body, it didn't feel right at all. Eventually, someone appeared.
'It's time. [Sound Lock]!.'
Suddenly, the whole room became encapsulated with a blue energy field. Dean didn't know what happened, but he didn't have anything to say due to the nauseous feeling in his whole body. He wanted to throw up, but he couldn't.
'Sorry Dean, [Locking Corridor]!'
'Myra, what the hell are you doing?' Dean asked Myra with his intimidating tone. He walked towards the door, but it was locked, and the door handle couldn't be opened at all. It just stuck on that place.
'Well, I promise you power, right? Now embrace it.' Myra snapped her finger.
Black aura immediately covered his entire body. The black aura felt like a fire burning his whole body. Dean tried to put it out with the running water on the sink, but he couldn't. The aura continued to fry his entire body.
'You bastard…' Dean looked at himself at the mirror.
Two triangular horns were protruding from his head alongside with his irises turned to red color. There was no doubt about it, Myra just turned him into a Menkaid, a demon Menkaid to be exact. Dean felt like he just got supervision or something alongside with an immense amount of power entering his body.
Suddenly, he heard cracking noise in his back. Then, his knee was severed and Dean fell into the ground. After that, his fingers were dislocated as several external fractures formed in his whole body.
'No cheating, Dean. [Spell Jamming]!'
Dean tried to activate his [Blitz Painkiller], but he couldn't. The pain of several bones breaking inside of his body didn't disappear at all.
'Demonic power, how's it?' Myra asked.
'You do realize that this will bring me straight into a prison cell inside of a lab, don't you?' Dean brought out the pistol out of his pocket.
Earth defense force hadn't been lenient towards Menkaid, and Dean had no doubt that the interrogation to him would be far than kind. Nobody would treat Menkaid nicely, especially after the genocide that almost turned human extinct.
At the very least, he could expect some of his tooth got pulled out. At most, he could be used as a lab rat for some inhumane experiment in a lab. Death would be the best outcome for him, anything was better than being used as a lab rat.
Menkaid had better durability than human albeit having similarly working anatomy. It made them the best candidate for experimentation beyond ethics. There was several leaked documents from the government files about Menkaid experimentation.
Most of them weren't even pretty. One of the documents that Dean read was how long can a Menkaid after having all of its limbs severed. It involved one Menkaid being amputeed then left to death while scientist watched it from behind glass. Or, what if they experimented poison designed to torture Menkaid? Dean didn't want to imagine it.
There was also experimentation for improvements for internal organs. It involved an open surgery on a Menkaid without any anaesthetic, only paralyzing drugs. They would harvest its internal organs and replaced it with bionic ones, and see how it could be improved. For the most part, the Menkaid would be left in storage as scientist observed the new organs.
Due to the experimental nature of the organ, it usually overpowered the biological organs that the scientist didn't replace to see the limitation of the bionic parts. Usually, it left the host dying due to incompatibility.
Dean loaded a bullet into his pistol and put it right into his temple. He put his finger on the trigger. He was ready to take his own life. This was the best alternative for him. No one would leave a Menkaid be, especially an orphan Menkaid.
'Wait, wait, wait, don't kill yourself that easily,'
'You have one minute to explain how, or I'll take the third way,' Dean said.
'Wait, it's not like I don't have any contingency for this. Here's your contingency.'

'Myra, do I even have that much magical power?'
'Look at your stats, Dean.'

'That's a shitton of spells, I'm not going to lie, Still, what does the 50 x 2 mean?' Dean asked.
'It means that you'll have double the points that you distribute, let me explain.'
Demon had much better stats than average human, that was for certain. However, one of the other major advantages that Dean had was the amount of magical power that a demon could store. It was about four times what an average human could get. His stats was also doubled thanks to the demonic transformation.
As usual, he distributed most of his stats points to aptitude. He distributed 40 points into aptitude while the rest went to strength. As a result, his humongous magical power went up significantly as well.

'How about the rest of them? I know the spell that you used before, but what is [Lifesteal] and [Basic Molecular Regeneration]?' Dean asked Myra.
'Lifesteal is the ability of demonic vampire, not necesarily mean that you are a vampire though. Basically, this ability would allow you to regenerate the wound in your body by drinking blood. [Basic Molecular Regeneration] is the same thing, but it uses magical power instead of blood.'
'I see, how about Hellfire spells?' Dean asked.
'It's an exclusive demonic spell. Basically, you are able to shoot black fiery bolts at your enemy as long as you are in your demonic form. Otherwise, it won't work,' Myra added.
'I see, well, how about the opti-physical camouflage?' Dean asked.
'It will hide your demonic form at the cost of making your demonic skill unavailable,' Myra answered.
'I see.'
Dean changed back into his human form. Now, he needed to think how to clean the blood in the bathroom. Why did demonic was so grotesque and painful in the first place? Dean would never know.
